I have a Nikon slide scanner (very high quality) for which the software has not been updated. It last ran on WinXP SP3 and I was not able to get it to run under Win 7 and certainly not Win 10. Anyone know where I can obtain images of this old OS to run in CentOS 7 under kvm? Dave McGuffey

Maybe just changing the software instead the OS is more hassle free ... -- Leon

That can take enough work that you will find it easier to buy off of ebay someone selling a laptop or computer from that era and run Windows XP native.> Dave McGuffey > > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos >-- Stephen J Smoogen.
